Tarragon Theatre and the RBC Foundation are partnering up for the 4th Annual RBC Tarragon Emerging Playwrights' Competition. The competition fosters new works and Canadian voices by offering emerging playwrights financial support to develop their plays, the opportunity to work with skilled artists, and the chance to showcase their work on a national level.

The winner of this exciting competition will be awarded $3000, have the opportunity to showcase their play in Tarragon Theatre's 2013 Play Reading Week, and receive a year's worth of dramaturgical support from Tarragon Theatre's literary manager.

To qualify, applicants must be “emerging” playwrights, as defined by the competition guidelines. Only full-length plays (min. 80 minutes) written in English by Canadian citizens or permanent residents will be considered. All application packages must be submitted to Tarragon Theatre by Friday, April 27, 2012 at 5:00 p.m.
